Farage Loses his Mind

I know that is a very dramatic title by my standards, but I
think in this case it is justified. Nigel Farage has just made the last
statement on earth that I ever thought he would. He was interviewed on Channel
5's The Wright Stuff yesterday in
which he said he was beginning to think that we should have a second referendum
on Britain's
membership of the European Union. His reasoning is that it would be the only
way to silence the anti-Brexit agitators once and for all. He feels confident
that even more people would vote Leave the second time round than did in the
first vote. How can any sane person make such a reckless suggestion; let alone
the figurehead and godfather of the British independence movement? What on
earth can he be thinking? Is this the same man who said the morning of June 24th 2016 "Today the sun
has risen on an independent Britain."?
You can see the astonishment and incredulity in the manner of the presenter. Source:

A second referendum is exactly what all the hard-line remoaner traitors have
been calling for since June 2016; the David Lammies and Caroline Lucases of this
world. Farage eloquently and successfully repelled them at every turn; is he
now saying he's going to give them what they want? No, Nigel! You have to keep
on resisting them! A second referendum would jeopardize the entire Brexit
process, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in which the people gained a crucial
advantage against the entire New World Order establishment. Since 2016 those
forces have regrouped and are counter-striking. They will be a far greater
threat during any potential second referendum than they were during the first.
The methods they used to bully the electorate through propaganda will be far
more effective. The inevitable poll-rigging will be far more widespread. Far
from being a guaranteed second goal for Brexit; there is much greater risk that
the decision would fall back to Remain. The good news is that Theresa May has
responded to Farage with a clear and resounding "no!", but I don't
trust her to stick by her word; and any ground given to the remoaners is too
much ground by far. It is incredibly irresponsible to pander to their whims
even in a casual remark on a television show. He really should know better. You
can bet they will milk Nigel's blunder for every drop they can get, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivcOkops34s.
Farage has issued another article qualifying his position, see: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/01/11/do-not-want-second-vote-brexit-fellow-leavers-must-ready-fight/,
however his original statement, "I'm reaching the point of thinking that
we should have a second referendum on EU membership" is unfortunately
unequivocal.

A second reason Nigel is wrong is that even if the second
referendum resulted in another Leave victory it simply wouldn't work. It would not make the remoaners shut up and get
on with it. They would simply come up with another excuse about how the second
referendum was not valid either and demand a third referendum. As an EU official
said many years ago about Denmark's
rejection of the Maastricht Treaty: "Member states will simply have to keep
on having referendums until we get the result we want." As I explain in
the background links, when Ireland
rejected the EU Constitution in a referendum they were told they had to have
another referendum on something called the "Lisbon Treaty" which was,
word for word, the same thing under another name. There is no way Nigel Farage
can possibly be so naive as not to realize that this is the very same trap
being laid out for Britain...
Why in God's name did you suggest it, Nigel!? A second Brexit referendum would
also delegitimize the first one; and indeed all ones. All the historical and
legal punch the referendum has earned would be weakened. It would be
essentially stating that even a properly formatted referendum, instituted by
Parliament, can be regarded as null and void in retrospect even if there is
nothing in its rules that says so. It's as absurd as a football match being
replayed because the winning team won three-nil. The Brexit referendum was as
simple, comprehensive and open-and-shut a case as anything ever done in
politics before. Its results are therefore totally decisive and ought to be the
final word on the matter. I don't know why Farage said what he did. Maybe it
was only a bout of temporary insanity. Either way, he has plummeted in my
estimation of him; and I doubt if I am alone there. I once said that I thought Farage
retired prematurely; now I'm beginning to think he should have quit a long time
ago.
